I’m staying at the hotel , the fireworks looked nice last year at this time of night.Will be fun - May be too light out for fireworks at the time they do them again but it'll be fun all the same.
Me and Sam are booked in for this
The photos I got say otherwiseI’m staying at the hotel , the fireworks looked nice last year at this time of night.
Was there any security?Can’t comment on the full day but:
We arrived at 4pm (myself, wife, 4 YO daughter)
Queues were pretty good considering how busy the park seemed.
Other half went to queue for the Wave and we lost her for almost 2 hours
After we did Sherriff’s showdown and the Haunting, and then my turn for The Wave. I got into the queue just before they closed the queue off. As I’ve said in the other thread - ride is ace, 10/10. But it’s a non starter on any peak day , and certainly not family friendly in such a crowded indoor environment for so long.
Despite this , daughter was happy - she got onto 11 rides between 4 and 7 which was a good return for her. Although we skipped accelerator which is her favourite as it was pretty much 60-70 mins .
DJ was decent. Daughter loved dancing between 8-9. Fireworks average but again she loved them so that’s all that matters.
Leaving the park… Jesus… we were on the grass by Vikings and we expected to be stuck for ages so didn’t rush. Daughter fell asleep so we stayed parked with engine off until the madness ended.
In 45 mins we witnessed everything that’s wrong with the human race.
From the expected bumper to bumper letting no one filter in.. we also saw:
1x fight between two drivers come to physical blows on the ground
1x lady get out of her car and smash a window with her shoe
2x cars deliberately drive into the side of other cars for not letting them out.
Pure madness
Nothing we saw anyway. Was seemingly free for all and the field had no lighting at all. Park really needs a managed exit strategy.Was there any security?
Half went to main carpark and half to by Vikings. Wasn’t enough. As I said can’t speak for the main parking but Vikings field was … yeah..I know years ago on fireworks events or any late busy days, they used to have half the people exiting the main entrance way and then the other half was directed through the zoo to exit further into town to help ease congestion.
That was before they installed the barriers as back in the Wristband days they had pay booths at the entrance which included parking and the zoo then you had the option to buy wristbands or tickets.I know years ago on fireworks events or any late busy days, they used to have half the people exiting the main entrance way and then the other half was directed through the zoo to exit further into town to help ease congestion.
